Australian power grid attacked by virus, Linux saves the day {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 8:10PM where does it say they switched to linux? It's all scada on solaris and they'd been running an Xwindows remote on a windows machine for some monitoring, not much chance of this windows virus doing much to an Xwindows session. the grid doesn't run windows.
they might have booted to linux to remove the virus on their windows boxen, but could have as just easily used a boot cd that the virus scanner can make.

Kensington's iPhone / iPod charging dock throws a mini battery into the mix {Engadget}
Aug 4th 2009 12:59PM I wasn't that happy with the kesington battery, its akward to use and doesn't seem to last that long.

Transfer rate is variable on a CAV, fixed on a CLV.
